Lemonpeels are tough. I had one with a flame, but added them at the same time. It worked out fine, but I pushed my luck and tried to add a bicolor angel the lemonpeel would not stop picking (more like killing) on the bicolor. I ended up returning it to the store for a credit.

I siphoned about 10 gals of water out last night while going through the gravel twice. I hope I siphoned most of the ich out of tank and that the coppersafe will do the rest. This morning the coral beauty only had about ten white dots which is considerably less than yesterday morning. Also...

Does coppersafe have short shelf life? Maybe mine is not effective because the shelf lifei shorter than what's actually on the bottle.

My ammonia is 0. I checked it last night. I will do a change with my main tank water. That might help assuming the coral beauty is still alive when I get home tonight. Salinity is 1.016 as I keep it low to control parasites. Although, I doubt that kills many of them at 1.016. The white...

Have you had success with the use of this product? I started this product in my 20 gal QT this past Saturday on my coral beauty (cb) and flame hawk. The cb was covered ich on Saturday, but by Sunday night, the spots had just about disappeared. I realized the ich was not gone from the tank...

Thanks everyone. I treated my QT with copper and slower raised the SG to 1.014 as I believe my hydometer is just not accurate enough. I was afraid the bloating was coming from the SG being much too low (below 1.009) for the coral beauty and the fish was retaining water, causing the bloat. The...

I am quaranting two new fish in a 20 gal QT tank. One is a coral beauty angel and the other is a flamehawk fish. I bought them to add to my reef at some point, but wanted to QT them first. I have done lots and lots of reading on this web site and others, and it seems QT is the way to go. The...

This fish is really interesting. I like the way it swims. I also like the way it lands on top of rocks and just hangs out. I am going to be brave or stupid (you pick) and leave my large coral banded shrimp in with him. He is quite a bit smaller than my shrimp. So far they don't seem too...

The might as their colors are somewhat different and you bought them at the same time. I tried a Bi-color with an existing lemonpeel and the lemonpeel never left the bi-color alone. He constantly beat it up. I had to return the bi-color. I have a flame and lemonpeel in a 55 gal though. They do...

No, I don't test for copper. I never added any and never added any LFS water either. Can't imagine my mushroom coral and coralline algae would thrive if I had any copper in the water. This is my second attempt at button polyps. I find it amazing that all the LFS's I go to have their corals...

Back to my problem, does anyone else have any insight here? I see lot of people of viewed this post.

That's funny, I am also into modifying cars, but recently discovered this new addiction of saltwater fish and corals. I have 2000 Ford Mustang GT 5-speed. I have Borla Cat-back exhaust, Underdrive pullies, a C&L MAF, Steeda Shifter, Steeda Lowering springs and some other goodies. I ran 13.89...

Tank water: 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, almost 10ppm nitrates. Lighting: 1 - 50/50 PC 110 watt light 1 - 50/50 40 watt light 12 hours a day for each. I recently added some mature (large) green button polys to my tank. In the LFS, they look great, open wide etc under what I would consider very...

Yes, I want to return him to the store, but not until I see him healthy again. Putting him into another tank right now would just add more stress. By the way, do you have a fast car or something: "drive it like you stole it"

I recently added a Bi-color Angel to my 55 gal. tank. I have about 40 lbs. of live rock and a few soft corals. Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nirtrate 5-10 as I tested them last night. I have a lemonpeel angel, maroon clown, and a 6-line wrasse. I know I have read that two dwarf angels usually...
